Last week, DeAndre Hopkins had an Instagram post recruiting Malcom Butler to the Texans.

This week, Hopkins upped his game and showed that his photoshop skills are not to be trifled with. He posted a picture of free agent tight end Jimmy Graham wearing Texans gear as well.

Hopkins — or his team — really excel at Instagram recruiting. It’s a talent.

The Texans could use a pass-catching tight end. They haven’t had a good one since Bill O’Brien took over. O’Brien comes from the Belichick tree, and they rely on tight ends, so it’s a wonder that the Texans simply haven’t been able to land a threat who can draw defenders in the middle of the field.

Hopkins has gone up against Butler so it makes sense he wants to recruit someone to the Texans who he respects. Graham makes a ton of sense too. He could pull coverage away from Hopkins that will allow Hopkins to make more plays, and be more successful.

There’s no tampering rules when it comes to players and their social media. So the Texans couldn’t recruit players this way, but players on the Texans sure can. It’s something that we will see more of over the next few years.
